Estimated value: €900 – €1,400. Chinese wooden mask head for wall mounting, likely for a home altar or temple context. The head displays an expressive facial expression with an open mouth, inlaid bone teeth, and glass eyes with black pupils. UV analysis confirms ancient organic material in the teeth (blue fluorescent) and glass in the eyes (green fluorescence), with aged glue and setting marks indicating long-term placement and use. The wood exhibits a deep natural patina, oxidation, and hand-carved details without modern interventions. Stylistically and technically fitting within 19th-century Chinese folk religious Guanyin representations. Dimensions: H 19 x W 13.5 cm, weight approximately 800 grams.
